Where are you located and what is the call for the repeater? I might be
able to give you a bit more data than. Butch is right that in the land
of the eternal pancake repeater coverage is spotty for ht use and high
outside antennas are a good investment. Consider a pa for the base
station as well to boost your ERP.
Thank you!

Subject: another question
Ok I've figured this much out. From here to the repeater it is all flat
land, like fields for farming and stuff. It's a small town so not many
high buildings and such. I looked on map quest and from here to there
is 18.5 miles, but that is taking the roads. so if you went like the
crow flies I'm not sure how much it would be. But does anyone think I
could hit this? I'm trying to get one of the guys from the club to come
out and see what he can hit.
Thanks,
Holly
